Navigating Employment-Based Immigration for U.S. Citizenship in Ohio

April 1, 2024

Are you an Ohio resident interested in becoming a U.S. citizen through employment-based immigration?

The process can be complex and overwhelming, but with the right guidance and support, it is possible to achieve your goal. At Sintsirmas Immigration Law Co. LPA, we assist Ohio residents with all aspects of employment-based immigration, including helping individuals apply for U.S. citizenship. In this blog post, we will explore who is eligible for citizenship through employment-based immigration, the requirements that must be met, and how our team can help you navigate the process.


To be eligible for U.S. citizenship through employment-based immigration, individuals must have a valid immigrant visa based on their employment status in the United States. This typically involves obtaining a green card through sponsorship by an employer or self-petitioning based on extraordinary ability or investment in a U.S. business. It is important to note that not all employment-based immigrants are eligible for citizenship immediately upon receiving their green cards - there are specific residency requirements that must be met before applying for naturalization.


In order to qualify for U.S. citizenship through employment-based immigration, applicants must meet certain requirements set forth by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). These requirements include being a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) for at least five years (or three years if married to a U.S. citizen), demonstrating good moral character, passing an English language and civics test, and maintaining continuous residence in the United States.


At Sintsirmas Immigration Law Co. LPA, our experienced attorneys can assist Ohio residents with all aspects of employment-based immigration, including helping individuals determine their eligibility for U.S. citizenship, preparing and filing the necessary paperwork with USCIS, and representing clients at naturalization interviews. We understand that navigating the complexities of immigration law can be daunting, which is why we are committed to providing personalized guidance and support to each of our clients throughout the process.
